approved, but Mr.. Rob. Walker seemed
to think it better to accede to the plan,
and save further trouble, and he re-
marked that he did not see that the
concession could do US any harm. L
told him | would not consent to any
thing of the kind. Mckay managed 10
join in, and stated that it could MAKE
no difference to me. He SAID
further" What harm can it do you?
etc., and urged the advisaDility OF our
doing as he had said. He said that GER
tain witnesses had been before the
Grand Jury and had given evidence
which must convict all our men, and
that the whole matter could best be
settled by our letting the men on the
Bamberger side OF the controversy 90

Robert Walker in the meantime mad
again expressed himself as willing to
consent to McKay's proposition, ana L
becoming more interested ito use a
mild phrase) told Mckay that l would
not submit to any such terms, and
finally
DEFIED HIM TO INDICT MY MEN,
and told him that he had better indict
me, as was responsible for all that had
occurred, knowing as l did, and as L
had before told Mckay during the coD-
versation, that nothing wrong had been
done.
Mckay said the men were unquestion-
ably guilty, and talked with much In
ter st, assuring me that there was no
help for them in consideration of the
evidence. told him to Indict them and
me too, and used some expletivcs which
were appropriate there, but your read
ers would not appreciate them on this
Sunday morning, SO omit.
Judge Gilchrist and B. G. Kay
bould heard some of this CONVEX
sation, l am sure, and l think they
heard it all.
Immediately Judge Gilchrist and left
Hoffman (of the firm of Woods d Hott-
man, our attorneys) we told hiIn of the
Mckay interview and he, with Gilchrist,
at once decided that ought to go i'm
medialely to the mine, to be present in
case of tue arrest of my men, and for
tear that otherwise we might tempo
rarily lose possession. | therefore tele-
phoned Mr.. Robert Gorlihski. who was
then at the Park City Hotel, and asked
him to get horse, ride TO the mine
and tell the men of the scheme to have
them arrested, and to instruct them,
although it was an outrage, to be sure
and submit quietly. as l feared they
might resist the deputies. Mr.. Cor
linsk rode at once to the mine, and IN
accordance with my request, took
formal charge of the property for me
and gave the men the instructions had
telephoLed, telling them also that L
| would be there as soon as possible.
Mes,rs. Hoffman s. Gilchrlst had been
| watching the court room, and at about
dark, they informed me that deputies
had gone out in a buggy, with blankets,
etc., for a night trip. l had secured a
fast team from Thompson & Jorgesen s,
and some large dash lamps of Fred.
| Koehler, and st about 9 o'clock that
night, Major Gorlinski and l started to
the Park e4
h At.the Halfway House, in Farley S
| Canyon, at about midnight, l tele'
| phoned home and also Mr.. Robert Cor
| fnski, and then proceeded to the Park.
We arrived there at about 3 q. M, and
procured fresh team, which we drove
/ to the mine, where we found Phillip
Morgan. and Others of the men
1
surprised when they found We were moi
deputy marshals. l assured them of every
protection in the way of sureties, etc.
and returned to the Park City Hotel to
get little sleep, as 1 had arranged to
have the men call upon US, in case Of
| arrest. .t ,r.,..-.- .--
! IN THE MORNING
| 10 ooop &C uo ouOko wo were IN the
alert, but no deputies came. 1 saw Mr.
W. c. Gregg in Park City and told him
that day of what the jury had beer
doing, and mentioned the fact of Mr.
G. j. Barry having been before the
Grand Jury on the day previous, and
endeavoring to have my men indicted
L told him Barry was a"perjurer," be-
cause it was impossible for the things
to be true which he had sworn to. Mr.
Gregg expressed his doubts about Mr.
Barry having sworn to anything OF the
kind, and said that so soon as Mr.
Barry returned from Salt Lake City, ht
(Gre, 81 would ask him and fnd out thu
facts. Mr.. Gregg was surprised wheI
i l told him Mckay had. told m,
of Barry's evidence given to the Crane
Jury on the day previous. Mr.. Gregt
, afterwards told me Mr.. Barry was con
WINGED that Iobtained the Information
from "Raybould, as Mr.. Barry though
the RaybCuld on the Grand Jury q
that time, was Ben. G. Ray bould, witt
Walker Bros. Mr.. Barry denied saying
any thing calculated to do US any in

treated HIM very roughly in the Gran'
Jury room, because, as Mr.. Barry be
lleves. his evidence was not what wa
expected.
